Barack Obama, on the job and reaching out

I saw a carefully crated and successful photo in the New York Times by photographer Doug Mills. The photograph shows Obama bellied up at a bar in Raleigh, NC flanked by two bearded dudes in worn t-shirts.

The guys on either side of Obama look like they could take James Carville and rough him up in an ally. Maybe Chelsea Clinton will outside the Democratic National Convention. She should want to anyway. But back to the photo...
